Question

Derive an expression for centre of mass of a thin rod of uniform mass and length

Answer 1

Answer:

PhysicsLAB: Thin Rods: Center of Mass. The center of mass in the vertical dimension, ycm, would be somewhere along the rod's central axis and will be included at the end of the derivation. ... This is done with a quantity called λ, or the mass per unit length . For a uniform rod, λ would equal a constant value.
